Goku means aware of emptiness (The Go syllable means enlightenment, and the Ku
syllable means Sky or Emptiness). Goku's full name (Son Goku) is the
Japanese name for Sun Wukong, the main protagonist in the Chinese legend
Journey to the West, off of whom Goku is loosely based. Goku
himself started off as more or less a parody of Sun Wukong, and as the
manga continued its run he was able to develop differently, eventually
turning out to have "similar origins." Goku's design was based off of
Tanton, of Toriyama's prototype manga Dragon Boy and Tongpoo, from his
other manga The Adventures of Tongpoo. When Akira Toriyama started his
first draft of Dragon Ball he originally plannedAkira Toriyama's first draft of Goku
on making Goku full monkey to make it faithful to Journey to the West.
During Toriyama's second draft he wanted to make Goku a full human
dressed in sailor clothes that rode a flight mecha instead of the Flying
Nimbus. Toriyama's 3rd and final draft of Goku was to have him human
looking with a monkey tail.
